Bastille (stylized as BΔSTILLE) is an English indie pop band formed in 2010. The group originated as a solo project by lead vocalist Dan Smith, who later expanded the lineup to include keyboardist Kyle Simmons, bassist and guitarist Will Farquarson, and drummer Chris "Woody" Wood. The band released an independently produced debut single and a self-released EP before signing with Virgin Records. Their first studio album, Bad Blood, was released in March 2013 and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. The album included the single 'Pompeii,' which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. Bastille released the album in the United States later that year. Their second album, Wild World, was released in September 2016, followed by Doom Days in June 2019. In February 2022, they released their fourth album, Give Me the Future, and in October 2024, their fifth album, '&'. Bastille's music has been featured in television shows, films, video games, and advertisements. The band was nominated for four Brit Awards in 2014 and won the British Breakthrough Act. As of August 2021, Bastille had sold over eleven million records worldwide.

Usually we have a grand intro here to explain why a certain gig matters. But tonight? It's Bastille playing their first show in over 18 months at The 100 Club to celebrate Dork 100. No other words needed for what stands as one of the biggest shows your neighbourhood pop magazine has put on - and one of THE shows of 2025.

Fifteen years in, Bastille have outlasted most of their peers, defied an industry that loves to eat up the new big thing, and somehow made being weird in the mainstream work for them. As they take their Dork cover hat trick and return to the legendary 100 Club for A special DORK 100 celebration, they reflect on a career built on doing whatever the hell they wanted – and why they’re still hungry for more.

Nine years, 100 issues, we're ready to party with a few of our bezzie pop mates.
